    Phantastic experience, plunge in, dive down and shake his hand. You can rent flippers and goggles at the beach nearby for only 5 EUR the whole day so no need to bring your own.

    Visited this spot 28 years ago with classmates from Gonzaga in Florence. A group of us hiked Cinque Terre the day before. After an overnight in Rapallo, we hiked to Santa Margherita, Portofino then on to San Fruttuosso. What a treat. One of the highlights of my year abroad. Definitely worth the trek.

    Really powerful experience. If swimming from San Fruttuoso, keep to the left side of the bay, heading to the most prominent headland. It's a decent swim but surrounded by boats and SUPs. Just before reaching the headland, in the area close to the cliffs, protected by buoys is a broad cove. Search for a bright white disc. Right next to this is Il Cristo.

    Unforgettable experience, I loved the statue. With the fishes there, I would give it a 6-star but it's not possible.😂😂

    Very hard location to get to period best way is to go through a tour. The directions on Google Maps took us into these back woods was unsafe for our vehicle and my family and decided to back out. if you want to see this go with a tour group

    This place is very overcrowded in August and looks like tourist trap now. Nature is beautiful, everything else is bad. Restaurants are bad and overpriced, attitude is bad. It seems like this place used to be cool 20 years or maybe it is worth visiting off-season or late evening if you stay in the only hotel there. In other cases - just avoid.

    Bro he’s vibing down there and no one will help him up. Also….! The sea is full of jelly fish and and it’s so squishy. My friend Mittle “Web-key” Webkin was stung and he is still coping grievously to this day.

    Beautiful place. Water crystal clear and clean. Lot of fish. Few small jellyfish when we were swimming felt like mild stinging nettle.
